Do they really exist? These online love stories
Everyday’s phone calls or chats
Do they really make a difference
After months of chatting
The person on the other side can say he is busy
Or after months of heart felt conversations
One of them turns out married.
In the absence of the body language
Words are a poor substitute
Coz they cannot hold or touch or hug
Emoticons are cute but they hardly suffice To fulfill the physical presence
The lonely souls on each side of the void
Desparately seeking a soulmate
Are left in the dark again. Some get back into the dating game
While others drown themselves in work or wine
Even when the online affair carries on
And the online lovers meet
They walk gingerly across the chasm of expectation
Hoping to avoid the sword of disappointment
That can rip their tender hope apart.
But despite technology
Given the distance, life style, work and the age
Most lovers never meet The love pretense of the online life never lasts
Some stolen moments later
Each struggles to find the elusive One
Meanwhile dating sites mint money.
